I honestly don't see that as ridiculous. You grow, then you get bigger.... so?

expertise and the two nad defense feats are it then.

I also agree with everything in the above post lol.

my first reaction is no, because I hate over-literal readings of powers for the purpose of using them in (imo) unintended ways. But I would wager the rest of the community disagrees with me.

guess what? it's somewhere between the two. That background is widely considered the most powerful and I would be fairly upset if my players all took it. The way I would deal with this is by asking my characters to explain how their background makes sense, talk about it a little bit. Then later...

starfox has a point.... if Demigod was a race choice. yeah, for a 24th level ED, its moderately powerful.

ever been stunned, had the leader grant you a save, succeed then get stunned again before the start of your next turn? THAT sucks.

I agree with everything in that post Doctor Btw my holistic medicine guy is Dr. Rouhani and I asked him if he posted on enworld thinking it was you lol. EDIT: All I do in difference is require a skill check to ascertain said info.

If the joker looks just like those damn goons then yes I do. You don't automatically know things that wouldn't be obvious just because its convenient.

shamans defenses.

Yeah but saying skill training or a +2 to one skill, or substituting con for another stat to determine lvl 1 hp is equal to +1/2/3 to hit is just unreasonably incorrect, from a "important feats" perspective.

paragon defenses and epic defenses.

Rezijum.... Rezjijackson...Razdum...Rezzledim...?

I personally love the idea of my players using minor actions in the first round of battle to make perception or insight checks to determine minion status.

Challenge is good? I don't know, I guess we just differ on this topic. I feel like being a good DM is just as much about making the players BE awesome as it is making them FEEL awesome. Pushing players to use their entire mind while playing is more admirable and rewarding to me than throwing a...

My pov is that I like variety and options. Minions are optioins, and using them is variety. Your point that when you use them and hide it, its more interesting because you often don't do that. That's essentially my point. Mix it up, don't let yourself do the same thing consistently just because...

yes hulu is very evil for containing all episodes of the series. (The hilarious part is that I have all the episodes on DVD, but since its right here...
